UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Hey sorry haven't checked the thread in awhile, it is the new Proline body.

 

So I got my flooring. This looks correct for my 2011, 6spd manual. I will install today or tomorrow.

 

Just thought I would throw a shout out to Miles at RLT Suspension who rebuilt my shocks last month. I had about 30K miles on mine and one with a decent leak. I was able to coordinate the service while I was out of town. Thanks to @Tttacodan for responding to my PM with the reference as well.

 

Miles and Dan are good people. Glad they sorted you out.

 

Price and where to order?

I'm also gonna be curious to know if the new mat will affect cabin noise.

 

So I’m leaking water into my cabin air again… I put in a new cowl piece back in December and ran it through a quick automatic wash today and it happened again. Good news is when I wash by hand or when it rains it doesn’t leak. The cowl piece looks ok I’m going to have a windshield place take a look and see if it might be that. Just wanted to say it’s a stupid design by Toyota but hopefully I can figure this out soon.

 

I've had some front passenger side leaks from the cabin air filter after driving in heavy or prolonged rain. You could be seeing the same thing from the car wash. Freaked me out a bit the first time.

 

Yeah it's definitely from the car wash. I was hesitant to do it but I spent 3 hours cleaning my truck saturday just for it to rain on my truck again and wanted to wash it quick. I'm looking into installing some sort of cover but i'm going to have the windshield checked first just to make sure. Just annoying is all.

 

Got the flooring in. A 2011 dbl cab is definitely the same as a 2012 dbl cab. Hardest part was vacuuming up the dog hair and dust from many desert trips.

I need to get my two front seats re upolstered.

Too bad this flooring is discontinued. Good luck finding the remaining US supply.

 

Damn that looks good. Wish I knew about this before.

 

I get water like that that drips on the passenger side floor any time I go through a car wash. Luckily it drips on my Husky floor mats and wipes right up

 

Looks great!

 

Anyone know where I can get tuned in SLC area? Still trying to decide on which one.. 0V? KDMax?

 

The latest KDMax Pro XT is pretty solid. @BortisYeltzen I believe is in the SLC area and could possibly help you out.

 

I can get you all set up. I’ve got pretty much every tune available for the 3rd Gen Tacoma. I’ll send you a PM.

Thanks! I can tune 2005+ Tacomas, 2007+ 5.7L Tundras, 2010-2019 T4R’s, 2007+ FJ’s. I use both VF Tuner and HP Tuners and have tuned many trucks around UT, ID, and WY. Happy to wok with anyone interested in getting a bit more out of their Taco. Toyota left a bit of meat on the bone. Especially after lift, bigger tires, armor, etc… Tunes make a big difference.

 

Do they do anything for mileage?

 

Yeah, making the vehicles run more efficiently happens to help fuel mileage in most cases. Highway MPG in particular tends to be improved for many. No guarantees as folks that drive 5 miles to work with 3 stop lights and wide open throttle between each light won’t see improvements. Really depends on driving and driver, as with anything.

 

So nothing SPECIFICALLY to improve mileage...

 

If mileage is your priority, not performance, recommend you stay completely stock. No lift, not bigger tires, no tune, etc..

There are tons of threads here on TW on how tuning impacts mpg. Many people see improvements, but it’s a side effect of the tune, not the goal. Performance is the goal.

 

Mileage IS performance.

But apparently some people have other "performance issues".
